Actually, the indeterminacy is due to bugs in the hash table: looking back at
the logs, I am seeing many instances of "bad move from hash table" (from ply 6
onwards) and "captured a king".  The first game played was flawless, but most
other tests and games have numerous hash errors (once aborting with two pieces
on the same square).  This happens even with no optimization and SMP undefined,
so it is a basic problem on this platform.
